Tips & Advice
- Come at the start to greet Santa as he arrives and get your photo inside the historic Carnegie building before the countdown begins on the plaza.
- Stay through to the end, because the live music countdown and sing-along on the Carnegie Plaza lead straight into the tree lighting.
- Dress warmly for the sing-along and tree lighting, which take place outdoors on the Carnegie Plaza at the end of the afternoon.
- Bring friends and family along, because the event is free and family friendly, with Santa photos indoors and live music outside on the plaza.
